On the evening of July 24, the Sabail District Court ruled against the Talysh researcher Igbala Abilov was given a preventive measure in the form of arrest for a period of 4 months.
He was charged under Art. 283 (incitement of national hatred) and 274 (treason) of the Criminal Code of Azerbaijan.

According to him, I. Abilov rejected the charges brought against him, since he did not commit the crimes charged to him.
Sh. Abilov said that his son had lived in Belarus since childhood.
“My son was not involved in politics. He conducted scientific research, not only regarding the Talysh, but also the entire vast region from China to Iran,” said Sh. Abilov.
He noted that the arrest decision will be appealed to the appellate court.
Igbal Abilov, a citizen of Azerbaijan, ethnic Talysh, who came from Belarus to Azerbaijan on leave, was detained on July 22 by employees of the State Security Service in the village of Bala Kolatan, Masalli region.

35-year-old Abilov is one of the founders of the virtual “Talysh National Academy”, as well as the chief editor of the printed organ of this structure - “Bulletin of the Talysh National Academy”.
